i would say that my approach
00:05
is a client-based approach when i am
00:09
thinking about how to help a client
00:13
settle a property dispute i want the
00:16
full picture
00:17
so someone may not have the full picture
00:20
when they come to see me
00:21
and so i think if my client cannot give
00:24
me the information or if you cannot give
00:26
me
00:26
all of the information that i need to
00:28
figure out what the entire
00:30
estate looks like then i’ll definitely
00:32
have to do what’s called discovery
00:35
and we will ask the other party for all
00:38
of the information that we need
00:40
in order to figure out exactly every
00:43
single asset that
00:44
exists in the marriage whether that’s
00:47
what’s being claimed as separate
00:48
property uh
00:50
or community property once i have all of
00:52
that information
00:54
then i’m able to look at uh
00:57
you know what property is owned by
00:59
either spouse
01:00
how much that property is and
01:03
my next step from that point is to talk
01:05
to my client about what’s important
01:07
what’s important to them what would they
01:09
like to see or walk away from
01:12
and once i know that information i can
01:14
discuss
01:16
what the court might do what the case
01:18
law says
01:19
typically i think knowing the court that
01:22
you’re in is the most important
01:24
and so it’s kind of a combination of
01:27
many things it’s it
01:28
it’s definitely what do you need in your
01:31
specific situation
01:32
i don’t really have a formula for that
01:35
you know i just know that i need all of
01:36
the information
01:37
in order to give you the best advice
01:41
on how you should divide your assets
01:44
based on things that you want what what
01:46
do you want to see happen
01:47
can i make that happen can i help you
01:49
make that happen
01:51
and you know if we can’t then we’ll talk
01:53
about that
01:54
but most of the time we can make
01:56
something happen especially when we’re
01:57
settling you know you’re in charge of
01:59
that settlement so
02:00
i make sure my clients know that make
02:02
sure that you know that
02:04
and basically just take it
02:07
one case at a time one fact at a time
02:10
and really try to strategize and make
02:12
the best decision for the client
02:14
based on their needs
